Xiong'an Sports Center Glass Curtain Wall Project

The Xiong'an Sports Center presented several challenges, primarily due to its large size and the curved design of its façade. These challenges included:

The building's façade includes multiple curved and irregularly shaped areas that made traditional measurement methods unsuitable. Accurate measurement of the geometry was essential to ensure the curtain walls would fit precisely.

The unique design required that the glass must be custom-made to match the stadium's specific curves. This bespoke production process required careful coordination between the design and manufacturing teams.

With such a complex design, the installation process had to be carried out with high precision. Any errors in the placement of the glass could disrupt the overall aesthetic and structural integrity of the façade.

To address these challenges, the project team employed advanced technology and innovative solutions:

To accurately capture the building's complex geometry, 3D laser scanning technology was used to scan the stadium's façade. This technology provided precise measurements of the curves, allowing for the creation of a digital model of the building. This model served as a guide for both the design and manufacturing teams, ensuring that the curtain walls would be fabricated to exact specifications.

Using the data obtained from the 3D scan, the team was able to produce custom glass curtain walls that perfectly matched the building's curved structure. The digital model helped optimize the design of the curtain walls, ensuring that each piece of glass would fit seamlessly into place.

Traditional manual measurement methods often required workers to access high areas. With 3D scanning, engineers could remotely capture the necessary data, reducing the risk to workers and enhancing overall safety during the construction process.

The glass curtain walls installed at the Xiong'an Sports Center provided several key advantages:

The glass façade created a modern appearance, aligning with the overall futuristic design of the sports center. The transparency of the glass also allowed for spectacular views both inside and outside the building.

Glass curtain walls allowed ample natural light into the stadium, reducing the need for artificial lighting and contributing to the energy efficiency of the building. The high-performance glass further minimized solar heat gain, making the stadium cooler in hot weather.

Designed to withstand high wind pressures and different weather conditions, the glass curtain wall system ensures the long-term structural integrity of the building. This is crucial for public buildings such as Sports Centers, which are exposed to varying environmental forces.

The Xiong'an Sports Center Glass Curtain Wall Project shows that how 3D laser scanning technology can help overcome the challenges posed by complex architectural designs. By utilizing 3D scanning technology and custom glass curtain walls, the project team achieved precise measurements, efficient fabrication, and safe installation, resulting in a visually stunning and highly functional building.
